The star of the “aged starlet”, as she calls herself, appeared on the fashion horizon after the presentation of her collection of dresses, jewelry and accessories Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel in 2005 at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It was this collection that helped Iris Apfel evolve from a bizarre eccentric woman to a style icon. Today, she works with magazines around the world, travels, visits TV shows, and last year she even created a makeup collection for MAC. A premiere will soon show how her fashion weekdays pass, and now we just have a five-minute trailer.
